The Immortal Heart (German: '''Das Unsterbliche Herz''') is a 1939 German drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Heinrich George.[1] It was based on Walter Harlan's play The Nuremberg Egg and depicts the inventor of the watch, Peter Henlein.[2]
Production began in July 1938. To recreate Nuremberg as it looked in 1517, the streets were covered with sand and other demodernization took place. 500 Sturmabteilung horsemen took part in medieval costumes. Harlan and Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels concurred on some cuts to the finished film.
